Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for controlling the accuracy with which a golf club hits a golf ball with the club face of its club head.
  • This device for controlling the accuracy with which a golf club hits a golf ball with the face of its golf club head.
  • This device comprises a plate-shaped sensor, which consists of two electrically conductive layers, which are spaced by an intermediate layer consisting of a flexible, under pressure conductive material. At the moment of a relatively large impact of a golf ball on the striking surface, the two conductive layers are electrically connected in the area of the impact by the intermediate layer, but never directly in contact with each other.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device of the type mentioned above, which can be attached to a conventional golf club, without changing its properties significantly, no disturbing side activity during playing only requires for measuring purposes, the impact of the golf ball more than registered so far and the recorded and according to the program evaluated measurement results in a form that they are always at hand.
  • the plate-shaped sensor is so light and thin that it is virtually imperceptible when a strike is made. As a result of the attachment to the golf club's face, not on its back, every point of impact is registered very precisely.
  • the preferably attachable to the shaft of the golf club measurement and calculation circuit increases its weight only minimally, because they need only perform the necessary functions to control the measurement process and to determine the coordinates of the impact point and spark the measurement results, for example, to a cell phone or smartphone. There they can be stored and evaluated by means of suitable programs. A cell phone, smartphone or the like with a radio module is usually available anyway and is regularly taken to the golf course. Suitable programs for the evaluation of the measurement results can be made available over the internet for download on the phone or smartphone.
  • the plate-shaped sensor is constructed in the manner of a computer touchpad with a rectangular support plate with a first electrically conductive layer applied on its front side, which is connected along two opposite edge regions each with a printed conductor connected to a signal line, and one in front of the carrier plate arranged, flexible protective plate having a deposited on its back, the second electrically conductive layer, which is connected along two opposite edge regions in each case connected to a signal line, a printed conductor extending transversely to the interconnected with the first conductive layer interconnects, wherein the conductive layers are separated by elastic spacers, the restoring force is chosen so that it comes only temporarily when a blow to a golf ball at the point of impact to the contact between the conductive layers.
  • Such a touchpad is for example in the US Pat. No. 6,239,790 B1 described herewith to describe the operation of the above-identified sensor for the sake of simplicity.
  • a computer touchpad for example, on a laptop, properly mounted insoluble in the case of the computer and only relatively light and slow touched with the finger.
  • the sensor of the measuring device according to the invention is mechanically much more heavily loaded by the blows against a hard golf ball.
  • different requirements apply to the sensor because, in contrast to a computer touchpad, it should be easily detachable from the supporting surface.
  • the advantage is achieved that it and with it the plate-shaped sensor becomes more flexible, so that when it is fastened with a double-sided adhesive film on the clubface of the golf club, it can be detached more easily.
  • the support plate of the touchpad on its back or bottom is provided with tracks and carries electronic components.
  • the sensor electronics are located in the housing, preferably mounted on the shaft of the golf club, of the measuring and calculating circuit.
  • the thinner support plate and the displacement of the sensor electronics to the club shaft has the further advantageous consequence that the entire plate-shaped sensor need only have a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm and thus the clubface of the golf club is only minimally advanced.
  • the sensor of the new device is more exposed to changing temperature and humidity than a computer touchpad. Therefore, it is expedient that the protective plate in the edge region materially connected firmly and tightly connected to the carrier plate except for a ventilation opening, z. B. is glued.
  • the ventilation opening can be covered with a waterproof, but gas-permeable film or by an overlap, such. As in a labyrinth seal, be sealed so that the sensor is at least dust and splash-proof to IP54.
  • the sensory-active area of the sensor only needs to be about 45 to 55 mm wide and about 16 to 20 mm for putter, and 20-30 mm for rackets for pitching and chipping.
  • the sweet spot is preferably in the middle.
  • the signal lines between the sensor and the measuring and computing circuit have a separable connector.
  • one connector half is fixedly attached to the housing of the measuring or arithmetic circuit or fixed to the carrier plate, while the other half connector is located at the free end of a cable.
  • this housing On the shaft of the golf club a variety of design variants are available. It may already be sufficient to fix the housing frictionally by means of at least one clamp or a tension band on the shaft, wherein a rubber-like contact surface or intermediate layer is advantageous.
  • a golf club is shown, the club head with 10, 12 with shank and handle 14 are designated.
  • a sensor 18 explained in more detail below is fixed, whose active sensitive area is designated 20.
  • the directions of the coordinates x, y and z used below are also entered. Their common starting point is in Sweet Spot 22 of the clubface 16.
  • the sensor 18 is connected via a plug connection 24 and to a cable 26 combined signal lines with a mounted in a protective housing 28, generally designated 30 sensor electronics with a measuring and arithmetic circuit, which is mounted by means of an easily detachable fastening mechanism 32 on the shaft 12 and a radio module 34, preferably Bluetooth, with a mobile evaluation device 36 in the manner of a mobile phone, smartphone or PDA is in communication, whose corresponding radio module with 38, flat screen with 40 and keyboard with 42 are designated.

  • the sensor 18 has the in Fig. 2 shown construction. It consists of a by means of a double-sided adhesive sheet 46 fastened to the striking surface 16 support plate 48 and a outside of this arranged protective plate 50.
  • the support plate 48 may for example consist of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin (preferably FR4 or FR5).

  • These may be semiconductor layers according to US Pat. No. 6,239,790 B1 act that have a certain linear electrical resistance.
  • spacers 56 are arranged in sufficient size and distribution, which ensure that the conductive layers 52, 54 only come into mutual contact when the flexible protective plate 50 regional or punctual, such as In a blow to a golf ball, a sufficient pressure is applied.
  • the protective plate 50 is firmly bonded in the edge region with the support plate 48, but at least one not shown ventilation and venting remains free, the manner of a Labyrinth seal is designed so that the sensor 18 is dustproof and splash-proof to IP54.
  • the support plate 48 is provided on its inside with two other printed conductors extending longitudinally opposite edge regions at right angles to the first-mentioned interconnects and contact in the assembled state over its length, the electrically conductive layer 54 on the protective plate 50.
  • the tracks electrically connected to the conductive layer 54 could also be printed on the guard plate 50.
  • Each of the 4 tracks is connected to the measurement and calculation circuit 30 via a signal line continuing in the cable 26.
  • the flexible protective plate 50 is pressed in a position so far that the conductive layer 54 contacts the other conductive layer 52 on the support plate 48, after applying a certain reference voltage to the conductor tracks connected to one of the two layers between the In each case, a voltage is measured which is proportional to a change in the distances of the impingement point from the interconnects connected to the reference voltage, so that the y and z coordinates can also be determined after a calibration.
  • the distances of a pinch point from the perpendicularly aligned tracks are calculated based on the amount of time that the current takes to travel to certain tracks connected to the tracks Charge capacitors.
  • a longer path of the current through one of the conductive layers is tantamount to a greater resistance, ie a lower current intensity and thus a longer period of time for charging the capacitor in question.
